Butternut Squash Bake Recipe

Butternut Squash Bake Recipe

If I ask our two girls (ages 7 and 14) what to fix for a special meal, this dish is always requested. I discovered this slightly sweet and crunchy-topped casserole at a church dinner about 10 years ago, and now I take it to potluck dinners and come home with an empty dish!

"This is good. I followed the suggestions of previous reviewers and doubled the recipe while not doubling the sugar. The recipe seems quite versatile and flexible, as to whether you use sweet potatoes or squash, decrease sugar, add spices, use oatmeal as the topping, etc, etc."

"This casserole is better as a dessert. We are not fond of sweetened dishes with dinner, but I thought I would try it just once. The casserole is so extremely sweet that the topping would be overkill. I would happily serve this as a dessert, sans topping. But as a side dish, I would make it without the sugar or vanilla next time. Will be delicious to allow the squash to show its natural taste. We ate this for dessert."

"This is a terrific way to prepare butternut squash.

The topping makes it almost candy like. So very good!"

"This was wonderful. I cut the sugar in half, and used non fat evaporated milk."

"I'd looked at this recipe and didn't notice any coconut being called for! I also followed "Measter's" tip and used spices ( 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ground ginger, 1/4 tsp. each nutmeg and cloves) as I find squash rather bland as a vegetable. I also used quick oats in place of the rice cereal and added 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon to topping. I'd used 1 lb. cooked frozen cubed butternut squash which I'd microwaved for 6 minutes, then mashed."

"I have made this delicious squash dish so many times, I couldn't begin to count. There have been many times when guests have wanted to pass on having some ("I don't like squash ") but I have said, "Just try it". Lo & behold, they are soon asking for more.

I often double the recipe, but only use 1/2 cup butter & 1 cup sugar. Also, the doubled recipe turns out just fine with the full can of evaporated milk & extra squash if you have it. This year's bumper crop of butternut squash in our garden will ensure that we will enjoy this side dish many times over the winter!"

"I can't count how many times I have made this recipe. If I am using butternut.....this is my go-to recipe. The recipe has been requested from those who have had it at my house. I actually double the recipe and do a 13 X 9 dish. That way a standard size can of evap milk works and I don't have to measure out and have some left back. Depending on the size of my butternut squash. After peeling, cubing and boiling in salted water. I get a 5 to 6 cups yield and I use all and the recipe still comes out fine. I even have made a day or two ahead and refrigerate without baking. And this too helps out with last minute prep when entertaining. As for the topping, I have even served it with marshmallows for a variation. This recipe has never failed me yet. It is definitely a keeper. Actually I have just prepared it for entertaining on Sunday!"

"A 5 out of 5 rating is actually an insult for this elegant recipe. I have not only made it with butternut squash but also with sweet potatoes and yams. It is sooooooo versatile. I cut back the sugar 25% and it is still quite sweet. Next time I will cut back 50% and see what happens. My guess is it will still be wonderful. I also skipped the cereal."
